Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration
The focus for today is: I take the time every day to calm my mind.
Many of us know that a few moments of connecting with our inner resources can have dramatic and healthy effects in restoring a sense of balance to a hectic day. But who has the luxury of spending 45 minutes to one hour calming themselves down in the middle of a rushed day?
Webster's definition of meditation is from the Latin "meditare," meaning to reflect on, to ponder, to plan or intend in the mind, to engage in contemplation.
If you've ever daydreamed or "spaced out" in line at the grocery store checkout counter, you can meditate. There's no right or wrong way to meditate. The hardest part of meditating is to remember to do it!
Today's Focus was inspired by the InnerSelf.com article:
